Desert Song

Have you felt like being in the desert? What does it feel to be like in the desert by the way? In the desert, there’s just sun. There’s no water. All you can see is an endless horizon covered with sand.  There’s no food either. There are no trees, just plain sand and sun together. If you find yourself in a desert without water, food and without shelter to keep you safe, what would you do? Do you think you can survive out there? Another fact, in the desert there are scorpions. Sounds terrible.You feel thirsty and hungry and scared, with no one beside you and no there’s nowhere to hide. The heat of the sun is more than painful than you can imagine and safety is nowhere to be found.

A lot of us have been in these situations. Well, not literally in the desert. But there are stages in life when we feel like being in the desert, scared and alone: when everyone around us has left us to die. This is the time when all we see is a big horizon before us and we don’t know where to go: we don’t know how to get out. At the same time, we thirst for the things we need. We thirst for the love of the people in our lives, but they are nowhere to be found. Not even a shadow.

Everyone faces and will face these situations. But the question is, how would you face it? Are you going to close your eyes and start living a lie just to forget everything real happening around you? Or are you going to try and see if you can find your way back home? Are you determined enough? What if there’s just no chances at all?

Well that is the time when we realize that we are merely humans and we won’t last a day out there without protection from Someone higher than us.

I just found this song today (Desert Song, Above) and started to realize some things.

Only God can take us out of the desert we’re in. And in those times, the only thing that will keep us determined is one that comes from Him. Remember his promises? No weapon formed against us shall prevail. That is if we believe in Him and His words. He tells us to rejoice cause He is in control. Declare your victory in Him if you think you are lost in a desert. He will show you the way.

Remember the times of the Israelites? When they wandered through the deserts for how many years again? 40. But God was with them and showed them the right path in miraculous ways. They were provided food and water.

Do you think that only happened in story books? No. That’s part of the world’s history. There’s just no reason God won’t save you in times you’re lost when put your faith in Him and repent from your sins.

Sing praises to God even if you’re in the most terrible situations. God never sleeps and He hears us always. He hears when His children need His help. All we need is to call on to His Name and declare God’s victory. Have a blessed day everyone!
